Treatment of implant surgical site infection (SSI) with bioluminescence monitoring over 10 days (A, B). Mice were treated with control saline, systemic antibiotic (for 7 days), one-time antibiotic hydrogel injection (day 0), or two time antibiotic hydrogel injection (days 0 and 3). *p < 0.05, †p < 0.01. Systemic antibiotic, targeted hydrogel injection (one time), or targeted hydrogel injection (twice) versus saline group (one-way ANOVA with Tukey tests). Error bars represent ± SD (n = 5).
